Road networks are important for modelling the urban geographic environment. It is necessary to determine the spatial relationships of road intersections when using maps to help researchers conduct virtual urban geographic experiments (because a road intersection might occur as a connected cross or as an unconnected bridge overpass). Based on the concept of using different map layers to organize...

At present the latrine in India is, as usuallymet with, a most insanitary arrangement; dark, airless and evil smelling.

With respect to water resources, presence pollutants results significant damage ecosystem by turning into an insanitary harmful people’s life quality. Such refers s...

This paper explores the provision of adaptive hints based on attainment levels in the context of supporting the development of young adults’ ICT information processing skills. We describe the design of the LIBE VLE, particularly its personalisation and adaptation features, and a User Study undertaken with young adults at a vocational education centre. Using data collected through the LIBE VLE, ...

number of "municipal 'towns, in India, the methods of disposal of town"-wastes like night soil and katchra are highly insanitary and wasteful. The katchra dumping grounds and the night soil trenching grounds have often proved to be dangerous sources of fly breeding. For some years now, the compost method has been recommended as a satisfactory system of disposal of town refuse. It has proved to ...

In his 1842 Report on the sanitary condition of the labouring population of Great Britain, Edwin Chadwick demonstrated the existence of a mass of preventable illness and premature death in the community caused, he argued, by insanitary physical circumstances.' Although much of the evidence for the existence of this preventable mortality was anecdotal, Chadwick included a chapter of differential...
